Portuguese Expeditionary Army

The Portuguese Expeditionary Army was a unit of the Kindom of Portugal that served in the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate, British East India Company, and the Mughal Empire.

History
The army consisted of Besteiros and horse artillery, fighting with renown at the Siege of Osaka in 1600 for the Tokugawa forces against the Toyotomi Shogunate. They would later join their Indian allies in the First Indian War of Independence in 1857, fighting in the Siege of Shimla. The British were defeated due to the intervention of the Portuguese, who retreated before the war was over.
